>What about the live-service aspects of this game?
There's a test season 1 battlepass with pretty mediocre rewards- shitty weapon skins, profile pictures and runner skins. I liked the black Disruptor (that sexy girl from the reveal cinematic) runner shell skin though.
They've also added one more runner class - Thief, but she's not playable yet for some reason. (picrel)
>How is the lore?
It's given through codex entries which can be unlocked by completing challenges of variable difficulty. There you can find info on corporations (cyberACME, Traxxas etc.) and stuff like that. The lore is not quite clear and doesn't feel complete. You get the general outline of the world building via the welcoming cinematic though.
Gameplay wise, it's a fucking nightmare. You can't hear enemy players' footsteps and because of that you'll be caught off guard either while roaming or fighting robots populating the points of interest. TTK is extremely low so good luck surviving at least 5 seconds of PVP combat, especially if you have no idea who's shooting at you.
